letters which Mrs Emmons said she obtained
from woman in Philadelphia, with whom her
husband had been in correspondence. Ii is not
thought probable that Mr.. EmmonS counsel Will

neither admit nor deny that such letters had been
In existence. Mrs Emmons' counsel have, how.
ever, put in evidence a written statement by Mr.
James LOwndeS who acted as Mrs. EInmons' coun-
sel0r at the time she said the letters were delv-
the articles OF separation. Mr.. Lowndes says in
his statement that he read some OF the letters at
cate improper relations on Mr. Emmons' part with
the woman to whom they were addressed and in
fidelity to his wife,

"With an Amethyst"

White lie the February SHOWS,
BY wooing sunbeams softly kissed,
And at thy white breast, lady, CLOVIS
My amethyst.
The magic hues that Turk beneath
The surface of the purple wine,
Fall on tie snowdrift's ripping breath,
And upon thine.
Then as an emblem wear my gift,
As Sun to snow. dear, let IL be;
So may this radiant mystery lift
Thine heart to me.
Not mine the parable, fair child;
Twas whispered to the air along
The ages, in the music wild
OF Persian song.
of all the months whose jeweled round
The eirclIng year doth diadem,
Each one, the poet tabled, found
Its special gem.
The wealth of shifting hues that lies
In Eastern Earth's unfathomed heart,
For every seasons change supplies
A counterpart
The red heat of the torrid zone
The frozen arctic's iron cold,
In strange symbolic meaning known,
These gems enfold.
Read by this light, our birthdays tell
A lesson of his own to each
And Autumn's wane, or Summers spell,
Their moral teach.
To thee, the February days.
That lengthen out to herald Spring,
The amethyst's imprisoned rays
For token bring.

Then let Springs diamond light thine hair,
And Summers pearl entwine thy wrist
But on thy snow-white bosom wear

The Rag PIckers Of Paris.

In Paris the privilege of removing
and overhauling the city's debris Is
farmed out to large contractors, who
hire chiffoniers, as French rag plckers
ara called, who go out at nightfall with
their hottie, or square basket, buckled
over their shoulder and grub over the
piles of ashes and sweepings which have
been placed in the streets. They take
everything of the slightest value down
to the smallest pieces of wood and bits
Of bread, and carry their burdens to
the contractors warehouses. They are
poorly paid reside in squalid quarters,
exist for a few sous a day at The rag
pickers' restaurant, indulge in some oil
the gayeties of life, such as attending
a chiffonier's ball, and are members OF
Il well organized rag pickers' mutual
benefit society. The agreement into
which the contractors enter with the
municipal authorities compel the for
mer to remove the city refuse within
certain hours and gives them the sole
power of appointing chifoniers. All
other persons who overhaul the house
hold offscourings are amenable to a
city ordinance. Consequently 1t Is no
unusual thing for over 4,000,0 900 francs
worth Of old rags. bones, etc., TO be
taken out of the collections OF the
1900 c~hifoniers.

ABOUT DEEP FLOWING.
Some New Views on a Question That Ha
Been Discussed for Ages.


Been Discussed for Ages.
In farming, as well as in dairying OF
grazing, every thing depends on the
condition of the soil. Here is the
foundation, and unless this is in proper
condition the substructure is bound to
fall. A great deal has been said and
written as to the proper depth to plow,
and there is such difference of opin-
ion among farmers in regard to it the
question is still as far from being set
tied as ever. We think, however, that
the leading cause for such difference OF
opinion may be found in the land itself.
That good crops are and can be grown
on shallow-plowed land that is good no
one will deny, provided the season be
neither too wet nor too dry. e., with
moderate rains the whole season. In
such a season any one can grow good
crops. But such seasons are rare, and,
in fact, every season is likely to be at.
tended with either G long drouth OF
long wet spell. Now, what the
farmer wants is to guard against both,
and the only way to do it is to break
up his land as deeply as possible-say
not less than from seven to ten inches.
But how is this to mend the
matter? We answer, very easily. In
case of a heavy rain a large portion OF
the water, instead of running of, will
be absorbed by the deeply disinte-
grated land, where it is held as if by a
sponge for the use of the plants, and if
drouth should intervene. there is a
supply of water just where the plants
want it, and when exhausted, its place
is at once supplied by capillary at
traction from below. 1t will thus be
seen that by deep plowing the farmer
provides against drouth by having a
supply of water in reserve, or place
ready to receive and hold it whenever
it comes. The better to insure this,
however, as well as to facilitate the
escape of too much water, use a
subsoil plow, and an additional
team, running the same Immediately
after the breaking plow, and ripping
up the subsoil the desired depth. This
need not be done for every crop raised
on the land, but only once in every
three or four years.
It has been well said that it is better
to have two acres of good land, one on
top of the other, than as many acres
alongside Of each other, as it cost only
half as much to tend them. The way
to do this is by deep blowing, and thus
double the depth of the soil. as well as
the crops grown thereon Chicago

THE WOOLLY HORSE.
A Story About the Origin OF General FrA-
monts Strange Soubriquet.

A Story About the Origin OF General Fra
monts Strange Soubriquet.
The nickname Nv DOLLY Horse" applied
to General Fremont in the campaign OF
1856, recalled to my mind a story told me
by an old Washingtonian about the origin
of the strange soubriquet, writes cor.
respondent In the Philadelphia Record. II
seems that after Fremont had first an
nounced to the world his discoveries 10
the great West, Philadelphia Snowman,
of a tricky and speculative turn, under
took to exploit Lieutenant Fremont'r
discoveries and at the same time make a
little money for himself. So he came
down TO Washington, Congress beinA
then in session, and hiring a
shop on the avenue, proceeded
to advertise and exhibit Lieutenant
Fremont's woody horse, captured by the
gallant explorer in the very heart Of the
Rocky mountains at the risk OF his life. !"
Of course, it was only an ordinary, every
day horse. with patches of wool stuck on.
But it took, and the Snowman began to
make money on it. One fine day Senator

the humbug, and started out, vowing to
drive it out Of town before evening. TAX.

OF April dusks, the rapturous dawn.

With ecstasy Of spring song;

The grass shall crowd and throng.
There shall be flowers and flowers Ito waste
Along the paths where victors tread,
Or where the feasters singing haste;
And wreaths to deck the dead.

Through secret haunts Of woodland gloom;
And shall smile as smiles the sun
